We apologize if we are not understanding you. Let's try to break this down a bit.


If you want to sync music between your Mac and other Apple devices: Sync music between your Mac and iPhone or iPad.

If you want to sync music between your PC and iOS devices: Use iTunes to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer.


In your Files app on your iPhone, you can have music files, but you cannot import them directly into the Music app from there. You must use a computer to import them properly.


Let us know if this does not clarify matters and we'll go from there.

Thanks for getting back with us about this, Berferd. The article in our previous message explains how to import music from your Mac's hard drive into the Music app, whether commercially produced music or your own songs. If needed, here it is again: Import music from a computer to Music on Mac. You can also drag a file or folder from the Finder to the Music window to import it.


We hope that helps. Have a great rest of your day.
